Dressing a Dame

Above: 2006 UK Tour

From VOGUE magazine, there’s an interview with Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig

They are the two women who are the driving force behind the MARCHESA label. Dame Shirley is teamed up with them at F-Rocks tomorrow.

Quoting from VOGUE’s news page…

 “And with Fashion Rocks just around the corner, the Marchesa girls are certainly being kept busy. “We’re so excited but nervous. I can’t believe we’re dressing Dame Shirley Bassey,” enthused Chapman who, while not giving too much away, told us they had made “several outfits” for the legendary diva for the Prince’s Trust event tomorrow night. “

SWAROVSKI FASHION ROCKS: THE SHOW
This year’s Swarovski Fashion Rocks, as always the hottest ticket in town,
is set to be more brilliantly glittering and star-studded than ever. Hosted by
Hollywood greats, Uma Thurman and Samuel L. Jackson, the line-up of top
music talent paired with the most illustrious fashion names on the planet,
brings both high-octane glamour and a cool cutting edge spirit to this year’s
celebration.

 The dazzling show will be punctuated by two special Swarovski
“moments”: a spectacular crystal award will be presented, by a special guest,
to Valentino, in honour of his contribution to fashion; and for the finale the
award-winning Sugababes welcome on stage a second surprise guest, for a
performance dedicated to proud sponsors, Swarovski.

 Kate Moss, working with TopShop has designed a special 1920s inspired flapper gown,
scintillating with over 60,000 Swarovski crystal stones, in shades of silver,
dove grey and antique green, which she will wear on the night, before it is
auctioned for charity over the next few days.
